TO DIG UP BABYLON.
An Expedition to Explore the Site of II
Ancient CifU


During the past week DIR. Peters has
been active in raising the necessary funds
for the proposed Babylonian expedition,
which is to start about the beginning of
the year. The greater part of the $4,000
needed has been subscribed, and compe-
tent men are now being looked for to I'M
dertake the work under the direction of
DR.. Peters. The original plan was to pro-
coed Immediately TO Sepharvaium or Perse-
polls, and begin excavations there, but it
is the opinion of DR. Hilprecht, the emil
nent Assyrian specialist, that the expedi-
ton should proceed first to Babylonia
itself, since the Assyrian culture and civil
ization was only an ofishoot of the Baby
lonian, the latter having been of much
greater importance in the study of history
and science. 1t is probable that this sug-
gestion will somewhat modify the plans of
DR.. Peters. The expedition is entirely
under the auspices of the University of
Pennsylvania, and is to be composed
mostly of Philadelphia assynologists and
scientists. Besides the excavations, extern
sive measurements and trigonometrical
calculations will be made for TIE sake of
laying out an accurate archaeological map
of that region of Babylonia which has
hitherto been but little explored Any val
liable discoveries that may be made will
belong to the University, and if the expe-
| dition should be successful Philadelphia
would thus become possessed of a collec-
ton of archaeological treasure which can
only be surpassed by that of the British
Museum. The personnel of the expedition
is not yet known. Dr. Hilprechts thor
| ough knowledge of Assyrian literature
and his well-known ability in the deci-
phering of cuneiform writing, entities him,
in the opinion of those connected with the
university, to a place of honor on the ex-
petition. DIR. Pepper has expressed the
hope that DR.. Hilprecht will be one of the
members of the expedition, and it is very
probable that he will be one of those APP
pointed to direct matters from home.

will be so amended as to remedy all this
trouble. While 1 have no bard words to
speak. personally, of the gentlemen who
control this great committee, l believe they
should not have the power whether usurped
or not, to make themselves the imperial COM
manders of the House.
Every congressional district in this broad
land has the right to equal representation on
this floor. The people desire fair dealing
here; that their business should be done IN
an open, business like way, without any favor
itism to anv one. When they through their
representatives enact laws they expect them
to be obeyed as scrupulously by the highest
and strongest as we'll as the weakest and
poorest of our citizens. They do not beiieve
in and will not long consent to the usurpation
of their rights, whether they still hold them
in their own hands or have intrusted them to
others whom they have chosen to represent
them; and they will as emphatically condemn
and as severely rebuke the one-man power
attempted, too often successfully to be ex-
ercised over the legislation in this House,
which is their legislation, as they would
frown upon any other disregard OF the laws.

Mr.. Manley stated that when the Commit

they were not fully satisfied whether they could
reduce the State tax below three mills, or
not and desiring to be upon the safe side
they placed it at that figure. Further inves
tigation of the State treasury satisfied the
committee that they could recommend a
further reduction, and he therefore moved to
amend the order by striking ous "three
mills" and inserting 1.-TWO and three-quarters
